Do kneeling chairs help?

[joemonfl]

With all the restrictions we have sitting and since they say that sitting in a chair is not good for you anyway, I was wondering...

Has anyone had any experience with the kneeling chairs that are supposed to move your hips forward and keep you in alignment?
thx

Long ago I used this type of chair when in Grad school and trying to sit at a computer station however it was rough on my knees since I've had 2 right knee surgeries. If you've no knee problems you may want to try one. I think they are relatively inexpensive in stores like Target.

I tried this before surgery and it did not help in so far as it did not buy me time a a desk. Yes it was hard on my knees too. I still have this chair and should try again.

Initially I wanted to buy kneeling chair too, however I heard that it's not so good for the knees and ended with chair called Swopper - and quite happy with it (got some time to get used to it).

I tried one years ago and still have it. I found my legs got tired after a while and switched back to a regular style chair.

I could google this tho not sure what kind of answers I'd get so may I ask what type of chair this is?

My physical therapist told me not to get a kneeling chair as it causes knee problems. I bought a Swopper a year and a half ago. It took about a month to get my back strong enough. Now I love it.
